New BeerSmith 2016 Add-ons for Hops, Yeast, Misc and Grains

by Brad Smith on February 5, 2016 · 59 comments

BeerSmith2-300I’m happy to announce a series of new add-ons for BeerSmith Desktop. The new add-ons feature over 170 new yeasts, 32 hop varieties and 48 Misc items plus updates for Avangard, Bairds, Muntons and Rahr malts.

Thanks largely to the efforts of fellow brewer Brian Young, we now have most of the latest hops, yeast and misc updates available as easy add-ons in BeerSmith. The names of the new add-ons are listed below.

To download the add-ons in BeerSmith desktop, go to File->Add-ons and click on the Add button, then select the add-on and click Install:

  • Hop Update 2016 (48 items)
  • Yeast Update 2016 (178 items)
  • Misc Update 2016 (48 items)
  • Avangard Malts (5 items)
  • Bairds Malts (15 items)
  • Muntons Malts (17 items)
  • Rahr Malts (7 items)

Thanks again to Brian Young for championing this effort! Note that you can download a free trial of BeerSmith 2 desktop here if you have not already downloaded it and I have a series of tutorials here on how to use it!

There are no add-ons visible in MacOS version 2.3.12 when I go to file > add-ons.

I have installed them on MacOS on a previous installation in the past.

I am connected to the internet/cloud, but nothing appears.

Thanks

Go to File->Add-ons and click on the add button from there. The first screen shows the add-ons that are installed which is probably why it is blank!

Im also interested.

Hi Brad,
In BS 3 it seems that a lot of hops are missing. For example Centennial, challenger etc.
I have installed the add-on’s but still missing.
It worked fine in 2.0
Thanks
Jonas

Actually centennial, challenger and about 60 new ones are in the new version. I’m wondering if possibly some of yours got deleted or did not merge properly. Could you send me an email at beersmith at beersmith.com and I can send you the default hop file?

Even with the Crisp update installed, I have to manually create malts. For example Crisp CaraGold and CaraMalt which i’ve recently bought from Maltmiller(in the UK).

Not a problem as I use the info at http://crispmalt.co/uploads/product-range.pdf

Can you add Ireks malts to the fermentables please?
